STILL USING AN OLD DESKTOP
ACCOUNTING APP? by Colin Maher
Operations director, Liquid Accounts
If you’re still using desktop software to run your accounts, it’s time to consider a cloud- based alternative.
‘The cloud’ is more than just a popular buzzword now. It offers real- world benefits from day one.
Firstly, it enables you to work from wherever you want, on whatever device you wish. You’ll have full access to and control over your data.
Secondly, despite what some may worry about, it’s actually safer and more secure than your desktop setup.
That’s because everything is held on UKFast servers which utilise a far higher grade of protection than most businesses can afford for their own systems - on par with that used by banks.
Another perceived drawback is the headache of switching from an old system to a new one - but systems such as Liquid Cloud Accounts have you covered.
You can use its tools to seamlessly import your data from Sage 50 and other accounting software, meaning you’re up and running right away.
As it’s browser-based, there’s no installation required and no ongoing maintenance. You don’t need to worry about updates or backups, that’s all handled on their side.
And no matter what system you’re using - from your PC to your phone - you’ll have access to the exact same set of features and functionality across the board
In summary, cloud-based accounting is more flexible and more secure than your current alternative, and easy to get started.
If you’re interested in learning more, we offer a no-obligation 20-minute run-through guided by one of our product specialists who can answer all of your questions.
And when you’re ready to make the switch, we offer 50 per cent off the first six months.
SOFTWARE TO ENHANCE REMOTE WORKING by Ian Sutherland
Business development manager, Your Office Anywhere
Remote working is here to stay, so to keep your home workers happy, give them the best tools to work productively and effectively.
A lot of business software has moved online, accessed through a browser; and services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace ensure you can share documents and emails easily wherever you are.
What has been more challenging for businesses is the core, line of business applications: the accounting, CRM, payroll, and stock control software that has a desktop client installed on a PC and a database running on a server.
Connecting to and running these applications remotely can be problematic, often involving convoluted network solutions using VPNs or remote-control software; solutions which rarely give home workers a good experience.
This is where a Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solution can really help. With DaaS (sometimes called Hosted Desktops) your business software - front-end client, back- end database, documents, and files - are all moved to a cloud- hosted remote desktop service.
This enables everyone in your company to connect to and run your business applications from anywhere over the internet, even using non-Windows devices, with performance just as good as being sat in the office and running it on their PCs.
A DaaS service from Your Office Anywhere starts from less than £30 a month, and with a low setup fee.
Moving to DaaS is very straightforward and no technical knowledge is needed by customers. Your Office Anywhere provides a fully managed service and looks after all the technical side of things; they are also ISO 27001 certified for Information Security.
